Well this is strange, I burned a CD with Nero at a library, to a data disk and when I got home it doesn't work, but it works at more than one computer in the library. at home, I use roxio. Does anyone know how to get the disc to work?
For one, you burned a data CD, to a CD-RW, right? Try opening the disc's main directory or whatever, and extracting the files that way, so you can have them on the computer. This happened to me once, only I used WMP to do it, and it wasn't working. What I had to do was copy the files off the disc, and throw the disc out, because it was totally corrupted, and scratched to hell.
No, see the computer doesn't even notice that there's a disc in CD-ROM drive. But I tested it on several computers at the library and it worked fine. It's possible that the drive is just incapable of reading it, but that's weird since I've done it before and it worked. Maybe I'll wait until my dad gets home and see if it works on his PC, and then copy to my USB KEY and transfer them that way.
Make sure you finalize the disc. I believe some operating systems (windows versions prior to XP SP2 IIRC) cannot read multisession discs.
That's true, but roxio has a program that lets you read the disk, I forget the name of it. I've used multi-session disks before so this is really strange.. :/ maybe something I did is different.
No...multisession is basically a part of the CD-ROM standard. It's been around since Windows 95, if not earlier.
Hm, maybe it is DVDs or something. But I remember my computer giving me a warning when making a multisession disk.
When I first install roxio it says something along the lines "While recording disc some may not be able to read in some old CD-ROM drives, without having a specific software installed, do you want to install this software on your computer" anyway, it read on my dads computer, but.. he's computer is too much of a jerk to let me copy the files to my usb stick. And I know for a fact that I can, cause I did it earlier at the library. Gah, I'll have to wait until tomorrow. :/
maybe the disc didnt finalize itself correctly and it reads fine on computers but yours (maybe its being a D*ck )
